Two Marijuana Ballot Measure Approved in Massachusetts

The Massachusetts attorney general approved ballot initiatives from two marijuana advocacy groups in Massachusetts.

The Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol and the Bay State Repeal both believe that legalizing marijuana will improve regulation, prevent minors from accessing it, and stimulate the state’s economy.

The advocacy groups must collect and file signatures from more than 64,000 voters by Dec. 2 to get on the ballot in the November 2016 election. If passed by voters the proposal would become a state statute.
